| Need help with rel or velodyne subwoofer for ster Hi there,do not know about the Velodyne but if you use a REL at high level it should be connected to both positives at the amp terminals and the single negative connected to either channel.

| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? Hi Tubegroover,I'm sure there are lots of brilliant american amps but chances of hearing them over here are pretty much nil.Only one dealer in Scotland stocks high end US gear and you can imagine the prices - straight dollar to pound equivalent.Ho... | |
